Wrong MAC Address on ARP

Hello,

if i do a arp request from internal Network to a device behind a Red15 (Standard/Unified) i get the MAC of the SG/UTM not of the device behind the RED.

Whats wrong here?

Best Regards

Phill

  • That#s correct.

    behind a routing instance (layer3-border) you see the MAC of the router (gateway) which should forward the packet.

    The device-MAC you see only within the same L2 network.

    if you ping from UTM, you see the client-mac at the UTM.
